Second Chances

... last night i dreamed the saddest dream, about finding my soul-mate and losing him in the end...

... i realise that timing is everything ... you may find the perfect situation, and the perfect person to share it with, but the timing is off and ruins everything ... something so beautiful can turn ugly if one second is out of sync ... instead of feeling joy in the moment, there is a great sorrow... something so planned turns to chaos, the sweet turns sour, true north becomes frozen...

... in another parallel universe, things are different... two hearts find each other in love ... the deepest emotion is not spoken, but felt mind, body, soul, and spirit ... things are perfect...

... i wish i could give you a box, wrapped in blue silk, tied with a silver ribbon... inside you would find our perfect moment in time, something tangible, that we could hold on to, that instant before the darkness, the calm before the storm... you could hold it close to your heart, and feel the warmth surround you in a comforting embrace...

... but alas, moments are fleeting things, always escaping slipping from our grasp, like a dream upon waking.... a perfect moment not acted upon is a missed opportunity... sometimes forever....

... if you get a second chance to live your moments again, to make different choices, you are blessed... for second chances are so rare they are a collector's item... take it, don't be a fool and let it slip by you again ... be honest, shout the truth from the mountain tops, don't be afraid, take chances, strive to make your dreams come true, and you might find yourself with that one person destined to be your soul-mate after all...
